... are these 100% unashamedly nostalgic models of classic commercials from our childhoods!

Be honest - who doesn't remember swigging 'Tizer - the Appetizer' orange-coloured pop, as a kid? Or the National Coal Board? Or the Milk Marketing Board?

This range of classic models are a joy - I've started collecting them myself, as my dad was a coalman!

Even if you don't collect commercials, I'm sure you'll be tempted by the odd one, or maybe two, to put on your mantlepiece.

These wonderfully nostalgic, budget-priced models can be seen now in the new category 'CLASSIC COMMERCIALS'

Start dropping the hint now to 'Father' Christmas!!

...Brooklins.

I've just bought a number of brand new, old stock Brooklin models from a fellow dealer. Check them out in the new category on the site.

Fantastic prices compared to the new price and some earlier models, now difficult to find.

I've not personally received any incoming emails from customers since 2nd September, although they're coming through to the website but no further. I've just found the backlog. Apologies for no replies. I've notified them to see what's wrong.
